No, I’m not reviewing my own book. I just received the Kirkus review of Barberry Hill and was quite pleased with the reviewer’s thoughtful comments. I glowed on reading “She skillfully captures Jaden’s grief, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, fear, and other stormy emotions, as well as the rhythms of friendship and dialogue among teenage boys….
“Fresh, well-described setting and vibrant characters, with one or two missteps.”
–Kirkus Reviews
The reviewer articulated what he/she saw as the missteps but you’ll have to read the full Kirkus review to see those!
